City

SATURDAY 13th SEPTEMBER 2008 CITY UNDER 9s 3-0 YEWDALE PEGASUS It was an early start for these two teams with kick-off at 9.30 on a horrible drizzly morning at the Sheepmount. City forced most of the early pressure and won numerous corners, without being able to find the back of the net. After 15 minutes, the Yewdale keeper made two fine saves in quick succession to prevent City scoring. Davidson was very close to giving his side the lead, but his shot went just wide. City’s keeper Bell had been largely a spectator for most of the first half, but he did have to react when Yewdale won a corner, and he kicked the ball clear. Half-time arrived with no goals scored and the second half began with City again on the attack. Graham shot just too high and a great run from Halliburton forced the Yewdale keeper to save. The pressure was getting stronger as Davidson’s shot bounced back off the post. Twelve minutes into the second half, Boundy eventually put his side ahead as his shot squeezed under the unlucky keeper. Boundy almost added a second but the keeper managed to save but it was not long before another goal did arrive. A cross from the City right was steered home neatly by Davidson. The third goal, to complete City’s win, was a fine shot from outside the penalty box by man-of-the-match Davidson. Both teams competed in good spirits in unpleasant conditions, and credit is due to all the players. CITY- Bell, Graham, Halliburton, Davidson, Boundy, Renucci, Beck, Dixon, Ostle, Emmerson.
